For this week’s Guest Post Friday here at Construction Law Musings, I welcome back a good friend of the blog, Brian Hill. Brian helps people to achieve more from less in the areas of construction quality management, forensic investigation, business strategy and emerging technologies. He is also the editor and publisher of AECforensics.com – a digital magazine exploring the quality and risk management trends impacting the A/E/C (architecture, engineering and construction) industry.

First off, let’s get some very important caveats out of the way. I am not an attorney and this article should not be taken as legal advice whatsoever. In fact, chances are that your construction attorney would advise against anything you are about to read. I’m also fairly certain that your insurance carrier would run screaming upon reading this.
My work in construction defect litigation has taken me to Las Vegas on numerous occasions. Since I’m usually there for business, I don’t see the area the way most people do. The glitz and glamour of the casinos seems tarnished at 7:00 in the morning as I’m heading through the lobby, coffee in hand, dodging chain-smoking seniors depositing their dwindling retirement one coin at a time.
